Our Windsurfing Equipment

Being the only truly dedicated & retail independent windsurf school that offers windsurfing lessons & equipment hire in Poole Harbour, the No 1 windsurfing location in the UK, means we are committed to supplying only the best quality windsurfing equipment for all our students.

Learning to windsurf with old equipment can be a slow process. At Poole Windsurfing, even beginners like me get the chance to use the latest technology equipment. My windsurfing has improved no end as a result

– Jon Marshall

For the current summer season we have brand new equipment, from boards & sails through to wetsuits & buoyancy aids. With complete freedom to choose who supplies our windsurf school, we use windsurfing brands & windsurfing equipment that are right for you – the windsurfing student!

As an example, Poole Windsurfing is the only windsurf school in the area to use Reduced Diameter Masts (RDM’s) exclusively throughout their school, making the equipment lighter & easier to handle. A dedicated windsurfing school with all new equipment makes for a great learning environment!

Let’s run through exactly what we have waiting for you to use at the Poole Windsurfing school…

Fantastic beginner/improver windsurf board by RRD. 1st time on the water at the Poole Windsurfing school. A great beginners windsurfing board yet being light weight and agile, the smaller sizes cross over to work really well as intermediate windsurfing boards for practicing faster turns, beachstarts & harness techniques.

Both great boards to progress your skills onto planing, using the footstraps & learning to carve gybe. RRD windsurf boards always come out top in magazine reviews for usability & performance, which is great for those looking to progress fast with their windsurfing.

Windsurf Sails

The Latest Goya ‘Surf’ Beginners Windsurfing Sails

Beginners windsurfing sails from Goya Windsurfing were a really good choice for our windsurfing fleet here at Poole Windsurfing. They are super light weight & have lots of nice little extra features (such as extra padding around the foot of the sail – to protect your feet).

The Poole Windsurfing Beginners fleet include Goya ‘Surf’ sails in sizes from 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.5m, 3.0m, 3.5m & 4.0m so we can make the perfect size sail to each student.

All New Goya Guru & Nexus Windsurf Sails

Windsurf Masts

High End Amex Visio Carbon Reduced Diameter Masts (RDM’s)

An exclusive to Poole Windsurfing, the only school in the area to use RDM’s throughout their windsurfing school, including Amex Visio Carbon RDM’s for the advanced windsurfing sails. RDM’s make a massive difference to the feel of a windsurf sail – easier to handle, lighter in the hands & generally give a nicer allround feel to a sail on the water.

RDM’s cost more than a normal mast which is why most windsurfing schools don’t have them in their fleet but at Poole Windsurfing we want to provide our windsurfing students with the best possible equipment & this means using RDM masts throughout the school, from beginners right up to the advanced setups – its all rigged on RDM’s!

Amex are a dependable brand when it comes to windsurf booms. The Coreline model features an articulated front end, which give greater flexibility & fit when adjusting to people’s heights. A simple push pin extension system easily adjusts to fit our fleet of windsurf sails & soft grip with narrow diameter arms on the booms make for comfortable use.

Super flex rubber, Anatomic paddle Zones and Supra Tex reinforced knees give these wetsuits excellent performance & using them at Poole Windsurfing we are setting a new standard for other windsurfing schools to follow!

Windsurf Harnesses
